TOM JONES BEAT ROOM
It's a holiday weekend! While others are hiking and biking around, I've had a busy day catching up with a magazine interview for my upcoming Mort Walker book and recording my next episode of the Cocktail Nation radio show (stay tuned!). The fun bonus on the day was ordering a last-minute ticket to see Tom Jones this week! For Spy Vibers who are not familiar with him, Tom Jones is a Welsh singer blessed with atomic-powered pipes who came up during the early sixties in the UK. Readers might remember him from the Thunderball and What's New Pussycat themes and hits like It's Not Unusual. I think he's maybe become even more soulful with age, so I look forward to the show. From recent video footage I've seen, his voice is still in great form. Jones turns 78 years old on June 8th. Listen to a great interview with Sir Tom Jones with (my big crush) Kirsty Young on Desert Island Discs. Tom Jones has always been such a powerhouse performer and it's fun to see early live clips. Here he is (with future AC/DC drummer Chris Slade) on The Beat Room in 1964. Enjoy!

NEW BEATLES FILM
An exciting new Beatles movie trailer dropped today! Fans have known about a comprehensive documentary by Ron Howard in the works for some time that will focus on The Beatles live performances. After quite a long silence, the band officially released their first trailer for the movie this morning. Die-hard followers like me have hoped the project would yield an archival collection of every Fab concert, but marketing logic must have won out and it appears the film will hold together (as a film) by telling the story of the group's journey from bar band to success to the final show. The trailer takes a familiar approach seen these days with: "The band you know. The story you don't." And what a story it is! Still, I'm hoping for massive bonus concerts on the Blu-ray! We want to see rare and unseen clips. I can't wait to learn more about this new movie, titled Eight Days a Week: The Touring Years. I wonder if they will include interviews with some of the fans who appear in the vintage footage? When you look at The Beatles schedule during the 1960s, you can see just how hard they worked from the early days straight through the decade. As the crowds grew louder and less interested in hearing the music, the group said goodbye to live appearances and concentrated on recording in the studio. They envisioned taking the music even further. During the long wait for the next album after Revolver the press wondered if The Beatles had dried up. "Just you wait," reflected Paul McCartney during the Anthology series. They were about to unleash Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band on the world. John Lennon said their best time as a live band was in the early 1960s in Hamburg, but there is little documentation of that era unfortunately. Perhaps they will make some use of the 1962 audio recordings from Hamburg's Star Club made by Kingsize Taylor and Adrian Barber? The group put an official clamp on the tapes at one point, so it's hard to know. I imagine Ron Howard will just keep his attention on any live film footage that survives. Check out the trailer and stay tuned! The movie will be released in on September 16th.
